I accepted Christ when I was 11 years old at a Nazarene Church Camp in spite of what I was being taught about no such thing as eternal security. I was a teenager before I knew what it meant to be serving Christ. I did not truly start maturing in my walk until Pastor Rick started preaching. I know it is through the Holy Spirit that I’ve come to where I am today and I have been changed by God's word come through Rick’s sermons. I never had a Father figure in my home, but I knew the Heavenly Father wanted me. I Thank God for His many blessings in my life - from Pennsylvania, to Ohio, to Colorado, to Missouri, to Kansas and finally back to Colorado, God had me in His care even when I didn’t know it.
